The Roman Republic, and later the Roman Empire, was an unusual conqueror because it would absorb and assimilate elements of the cultures it dominated. A standing practice was to allow the defeated to continue practicing their culture and religion so long as they paid their taxes on time. Such a procedure was part of why Christianity would seep into the Roman Empire around the 1st century CE, for example. For the Etruscans, this meant they influenced aspects of Roman civilization, one of the most powerful cultures in the history of the Western world.

Explore the Captivating History and Mythology of the Aztec!
Nothing remains of the ancient Mesoamerican civilization who called themselves the Mexica, better known to us as the Aztecs. Nothing except for their remarkable story. In this audiobook, we discuss their enigmatic origins and how the Aztecs rose from nomadic tribes to the dominant power in Mesoamerica at an astounding speed. You’ll wander the streets of their great capital city of Tenochtitlán, known as “the Venice of the New World” among the Spanish Conquistadors, who spread the term all over Europe. You’ll discover the full extent of the city’s splendour, visiting its many market stalls, smelling fresh chocolate and vanilla pods. You’ll indulge in a taste of ripe, hand-picked avocados and freshly baked corn tortillas, as you decipher Náhuatl, the language spoken by the 50,000 merchants who visited Tenochtitlán every day.

The sheer importance of Sumerian culture in regards to world culture as a whole is impossible to overstate. This civilization is single-handedly responsible for some of the most major innovations in nearly every field relevant to maintaining a civilized society - this includes religion, lawmaking, architecture, schooling, art, literature, and even entertainment. Naturally, most of what we see as negative aspects of society were established in ancient Sumer as well. There wasn’t an aspect of Sumerian life that wasn’t plagued with corruption or devastation of one form or another.

Many ancient civilizations are described as mysterious, but none provide as many puzzles and unanswered questions as the Olmecs. These people arrived in lands near the Gulf of Mexico around 1500 BCE and brought with them entirely new concepts in terms of engineering, agriculture, and religion. The problem is we have no idea where they came from or how they developed these new ideas.

For 2,500 years, the Celts have continued to fascinate those who have come into contact with them, yet their origins have remained a mystery and even today are the subject of heated debate among historians and archaeologists. Barry Cunliffe's classic study of the ancient Celtic world was first published in 1997. Since then, huge advances have taken place in our knowledge: new finds, new ways of using DNA records to understand Celtic origins, new ideas about the proto-urban nature of early chieftains' strongholds. All these developments are part of this fully updated edition.

Historia
To an extraordinary extent we continue to live in the shadow of the classical world. At every level, from languages to calendars to political systems, we are the descendants of a “classical Europe,” using frames of reference created by ancient Mediterranean cultures. As this consistently fresh and surprising new audio book makes clear, however, this was no less true for the inhabitants of those classical civilizations themselves, whose myths, history, and buildings were an elaborate engagement with an already old and revered past - one filled with great leaders and writers....

Historia
During Egypt's Second Intermediate Period, a mysterious foreign group of people, known as the Hyksos, conquered Egypt and established the 15th and 16th Dynasties some time shortly after 1700 BCE. For centuries, the Hyksos rule over Egypt was an enigma shrouded in half-truths and myth.

At the beginning of Nonzero, Robert Wright sets out to "define the arrow of the history of life, from the primordial soup to the World Wide Web." Twenty-two chapters later, after a sweeping and vivid narrative of the human past, he has succeeded and has mounted a powerful challenge to the conventional view that evolution and human history are aimless.

Historia
Three years ago, a Carnelian bead came into Catrine Jarman's temporary possession. River Kings sees her trace the path of this ancient piece of jewelry back to eighth-century Baghdad and India, discovering along the way that the Vikings' route was far more varied than we might think—that with them came people from the Middle East, and that the reason for this unexpected integration between the Eastern and Western worlds may well have been a slave trade running through the Silk Road, all the way to Britain.

Historia
Riane Eisler believes that war and the "war of the sexes" are concepts neither divinely nor biologically ordained. Join the author as she reconstructs a prehistoric culture based on partnership rather than domination and traces the roots of the global shift to patriarchy. Eisler, an acclaimed scholar, futurist, and activist, also presents new scripts for living based on a more socially, economically, ecologically, personally, and spiritually balanced society. This script is in direct opposition to the tension and violence typical of what she calls the dominator model. Her vision is the partnership model, which today is struggling to reemerge. This program is an important contribution to that struggle.

In layered prose and with thoughtful, accessible scholarship, Aslan narrates the history of religion as one long and remarkably cohesive attempt to understand the divine by giving it human traits and emotions. According to Aslan, this innate desire to humanize God is hardwired in our brains, making it a central feature of nearly every religious tradition. As Aslan writes, "Whether we are aware of it or not, and regardless if we are believers or not, what the vast majority of us think about when we think about God is a divine version of ourselves."

Historia
For at least the last fifty thousand years, and probably much longer, people have practiced religion. Yet little attention has been given, either by believers or atheists, to the question of whether this universal human behavior might have an evolutionary basis. Did religion evolve, in other words, because it helped people in early societies survive?

Very informative!
This was a very informative audiobook. It was also not one-sided and gave two perspectives on the Olmec. I certainly learned a lot of new facts, ideas, and theories.

Great read and wonderfully described.
Book does have flow smoothly from period to period. The author is obviously a knowledgeable person. It appears he wants his/her reader to be as knowledgeable as he is.

A sort of appropriation of past cultures.
"Olmec" is a word coming from Spanish texts about the Aztecs, and seemingly meant people of the steamy plains. We have no idea what they called themselves; timetable is not yet set but in the current understanding their prime was around 1150 to 400 BCE. Their stone monuments are the oldest in Mexico and Mesoamerica.

Lots of great information in a two hours audio.
If you are interested n knowing about the many indigenous peoples of Mexico and follow their development chronologically, this is this audible to have. It does not deal with the Major Ancient except as influences.

A Great Introduction to the Olmecs
A concise introduction to the Olmec civilization. Topics include who they were, where they came from and where they went. Their art, trade, influence and military are included. Religion, daily life and lasting influence is also discussed. A great starting point for learning about this fascinating Mesoamerican culture.

despite author bias still interesting history
the author spewed opinion as though it was fact specifically on the west African influence. he omitted details that sughest ties to the olmec civilization. Dr. Ivan van sertima wrote a book called they came before Columbus that touched on historical evidence he either missed or omitted

somethings uneeded, somethings appreciated
I have read a handful of these books so far about mesoamerican cultures and all have been from an anglo/European lens. there is a lot of uneeded speculation about things. it always seems the anthropologists try to fit everything into a box from an Anglo historical lense. like if they cannot find evidence of conquering, currency/wealth, violence, government they either speculate and try to fit the culture into that mold or just give up and say things like" we have no idea what happened/what this means" " it is a mystery "... the people of olmec decent still exist.. like just go and talk to them... they will tell you. Olmecs were for very social, peaceful, and in tune with nature. community mattered. It's like it would physically harm the anthropologist to paint a culture that isn't theirs in a positive light.
I do appreciate debunking the misinformation and harmful rumors about olmecs being African or Asian. They are not and there are many ways to debunk this. rumors like this are harmful to the people who still exist in that region today and have the same features of the statues they made. to add on to that their DNA does not even match with that of an African. they are truly indigenous to that region and have been for thousands of years.

Interesting information
Wish had more information
This doesn’t really tell you a bit about the similarities between Sumerian and the Olmecs.
Wish it did. But listening I could hear the similarities. Religion , art and trade.

OLMECS
I just called her on the music instruments and culture of my ancestral Mexico I have had to read many books and I find that most readers don’t realize that there are several problems in writing these kind of books. There are books that have facts, and there are books that have facts And opinions mixed in. The problem with Opinion is that they are usually when it comes with a case of native America which is the one that I know I don’t know other books out there or educational with methods the problem with opinions is that they can be positive but it’s still opinion. The ones that bother me are the ones that are Eurocentric another words compared to Europe or just plain ethnocentric there were a few comments in the book that were like that I didn’t appreciate those just give me the facts!
There’s a thing of never appreciate is to pronounce I need a word in the minds of most Americans and some Mexican scholars to Nagle oh it’s native Sol it’s just pronounce it “our way” and they wind of butchering it so bad that you might as well learn to say it the right way and promote the correct pronunciation rinses it was terrible maniacally feeble of that guy to say the word, Nahuatl like this: Nah-hah-til I mean any bonehead will know the basic vowels in Spanish which is the same Italian and Portuguese that you is pronounced like oooooh I mean if you’re going to say the way he said it was three syllable why not learn the correct way and three syllables I mean pronouncing the TL is a little difficult I know but you would be, and they told me they’ll direct or just yesterday, he would be much safer at saying it like this Nah-waht
, Jesus Christ that’s only two syllables it bothers me when people go on record going into a studio and pronouncing the words all messed up and then someone saying OK that’s perfect thank you I would’ve read it much more better. There is nothing wrong with anybody hearing from our awards pronounce correctly. For instance I’ll be speaking in English to you and if I come across a word from Iran I’m not going to pronounce English style I’m going to pronounce it the way they do. That’s the honor a gift to all cultures especially when we’re talking about scholarly material. If I speak in English to you and there’s an Italian word like lasagna, that’s how you say it I did not say la Sagna. Take very little effort to change the Eurocentric/ethnocentric way of approaching saying native words of the Americas. I know someone will come back at me and say but that’s how we do it exactly that is how it’s done but just like you pronounce those Italian words and some French words and even German words correctly say these ones correctly
I could cite more examples but you’re all smart enough to know what I’m talking about.
That was quite a number of other words the guy said that I know could be said in their native pronunciation but you can do it too. I did have an adult one time said to me but I speak English and I told him “brother you and I have the same muscles and vocal cords I am no different than you”.
Wish they would’ve talked about chocolate a little more because there are some more very powerful thing there was quite a few other things that were in accurate in the book and strange supposition like that weird conversation about who invented the tortilla or the fact that chocolate was only consumed by Nobles. There is no documentation anywhere that says that if you go to Tabasco right now like I went there a couple years ago cacao trees grow in every neighborhood we all mix weren’t the first ones to eat it they were the earliest findings and findings means “that’s all we found at this point”, If you go buy one of these trees you’ll want to eat it your first impulse will be to eat it it’s not like there are chocolate bars in the air so these things have been eaten I’m sure since the first humans or in the Americas. People always talk about the art and they always, and I get especially bothered by this because I’m a musician, they always leave out music music and sound direct guides and influence of people in a Nueroscientific manner this is all been proven! So the omitting of musical instruments is just absolutely insane.
Other than that I learned just a couple of things but really not much that I’ve already seen. For the average layman this is a great book I would say hire me and I’ll read the whole thing for free and pronounce the words 1 billion times better
Sincerely Martin Espino
